Update syncing issues

Tried to update and sync my ipad.  Shows I have space, when I attempt to sync it says I dont have enough space, then I attempt to remove a few aps to make room, but since it thinks I dont have enough space it stops syncing.  WTH?

... Just wanted to add that, as I watch the sync process, it reports that it's preparing the sync, determining which apps to load and syncing mail ... but it never says anything about videos. The syncing process takes all of 9 seconds, which seems much too rapid.
I wonder if it's even seeing the videos / tv shows at all?

  • Strange iTunes 7.0.1 update/sync issue

    Ok, here's the deal.
    If I boot up my computer, start iTunes, and then connect an iPod it will begin syncing normally then it diplays the error saying, "some items could not be updated because your iPod software is out of date". When I go to the summary tab for the iPod the update and restore buttons are both greyed out and can not be clicked.
    Here's the really weird part. If I try to sync again by choosing file>>sync "iPod" iTunes displays a message that says "iPod update failed. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again." So I do that. I click the eject symbol next to the iPod on the left nav section, unplug the USB cable, then plug it back in. Now the iPod screen comes up with the "Do Not Disconnect" screen but iTunes never finds it.
    When I download iTunes again to try and reinstall it the iTunes.dmg file fails to mount every time! I'm sort of at my wits end. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

    Well, I think I might have found the answer to my own question. Resetting the PMU seems to have done the trick. Here's a thread that explains how to do that.

  • Sync issues after iOS 8 update

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 5S, 64 GB. After updating to iOS8 I got sync issues. "Waiting for changes to be applied" never disappeared. Also the storage usage in iTunes 11.4 is wrong. iTunes said I had 6GB free, when I had in fact 20GB. I restored the phone back to firmware, restored the backup. All was fine until I made setting changes in iTunes what I want to sync. The same issue in iTunes is back again. I already deleted my voice memos as someone recommended in another threat but that didn't help.
    Any ideas how I can solve the problem, would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Ovi Suite Calendar Sync Issue - crashes when updat...

    Can you help me fix an Ovi Suite sync issue?
    the Ovi suite will only sync when I select the time range as 3 weeks into the past (or less)
    if I select 4 weeks into the past (or more) the Ovi suite crashes about 10 seconds into the sync
    I'm using a Nokia C601, sync to Windows Calendar on Windows Vista
    Ovi Suite Version 3.1.0.84
    Device Software Version 014.002
    I've tried all the obvious: uninstall / reinstall / reboot, updated to the latest version on softtware on both the phone and my PC.
    I've uninstalled my previous Nokia PC Suite
    I'm at a loss at to what else to try to get this working?

    Could you please try this?
    1. Please, check on Task Manager (press ctrl+shift+esc) if you see NokiaOviSuite.exe process twice on the process list? If yes, kill all the instances of NokiaOviSuite.exe, nokiaaserver.exe and NokiaMServer.exe. If not, a reboot should fix the issue.
    or
    2.Choose from Sync menu “Repair sync”. This operation may create duplicate entries in case the sync engine is not able match the records from different end points with each other. Also, all the deleted items which have not been removed from the other end points will be restored to the end point where the item was deleted.
    or
    3. Update phone software (Please take backup before going for software updates.
    or
    4. Atlast uninstall NOS
    Please THANK me by clicking on the ****WHITE STAR** ( Giving KUDOS) the big GREEN BOX to your LEFT .
    It will help me to serve you better !!!!!

  • Will there be another softerware update SOON to fix the syncing issue iOS 6.14 caused?

    Will Apple offer another update SOON that will FIX the syncing issues?
    I have tried EVERYTHING: backups, restarting phone, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes, etc. . NOTHING WORKS
    I look forward to having my phone sync to my computer so I can save all my information on my external hard drive.
    This issue has been occurring ever since I downloaded and updated the iOS 6.14 software.
    Everyone is having this same issue, if anyone knows a way to "fix" it please let me know, if not. . . APPLE I need you to begin working on a solution. Thanks!

    False.
    You are not addressing Apple here.  We are all Apple users, just like you.
    Additionally, terms of service of the Apple Support Communities forbid us from speculating on actions Apple may or may not take in the future.

  • Looking for update on Palm 5.2.1 sync issues

    Wondering what the offical word is on the Palm OS 5.2.1 sync issue? Is there an ETA for the upgraded conduit?

    however we will only look into supporting the new
    Palm features (i.e. location, URL, birthday, address,
    etc.) in a subsequent release.Quite disapointing. Both Oracle Calendar and Palm are only
    interesting if they work closely together and mutally
    support all features.
    Another feature I would very much like to have is
    network synchronization directly with
    the server and not passing via this little executable
    on the PC.
    This would make Ocal/Palm support independent from the
    OS. (I use vmware to just run this executable, a lot of
    waste of resources.)

  • More Aperture/iPad syncing issues

    Each time I create a new project or album in Aperture, I have trouble getting the images to the iPad when I sync. I sometimes need to sync several times until the images are recognized and imported to iPad. I do have the albums designated manually, rather than all, which means I have to sync and then sync again after I check the checkbox for the new album. I understand that, but sometimes I have to go back into Aperture to make sure the previews are updated. If I choose to update the previews for a project, Aperture will usually tell me that they're already up to date, but often they will not show up on the iPad, even after I check the appropriate box for the album in iTunes. Sometimes I get good results if I delete the previews and regenerate them in Aperture.
    The second problem is the sort order. Even if I have "sort by filename" selected in Aperture, they do not show up in this order on the iPad--despite what the support article says about this. They appear to only show up in Date order. I've tried repeatedly resetting the sort order, but it does not change on the iPad. Sometimes I have to delete the album from the iPad, (uncheck the album in iTunes and sync again), then recheck it and sync yet another time. This does not always work, however.
    It is very frustrating. The interface between Aperture and the iPad is very wonky. I often have to sync repeatedly, just to get the photos on the iPad and even then they're usually in the wrong order.
    Aperture appears to have two types of previews: "previews" and "sharing previews," but "sharing previews" don't seem to appear in the documentation. I've noticed that, even when Aperture says the previews are up to date, when I exit the program, it will sometimes (but, maddeningly, not always), give the message, "updating sharing previews" before quitting. I cannot figure out how to force this, however. Sometimes opening and closing Aperture several times will cause it to do this, but I can't be sure.
    iTunes seems to have its own process in which it "optimizes" images for importing to the iPad. Like Aperture's mysterious "sharing previews," "optimizing" does not show up in the iTunes documentation or help files.
    This process either needs to be improved, or at least documented so users can understand how to avoid these problems.

    1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
    2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
    3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best

  • Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi All,
    My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later  even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
    All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
    I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system 
    Thanks!

    A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
    How to move your data to a new Identity
    BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
    Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.

  • Calendar keeps updating/syncing for hours

    Sometimes when I wake up my Mac in the morning, my Calendar App starts to update/sync with iCloud (looking for changes myde on my other devices or new invitations) – and then remains in that mode for hours. I can´t get it to really sync and show new events by re-opening the app or pressing comand-R. Often a restart of the Mac does´nt solve that. I thought it might be a problem with iCloud service not being available but if I browse to iCloud.com I can reach the service and see the new entries in the calendar. Any suggestion?
    Till

    I've heard of some people having this issue, and when I told My friends to not let the computer sleep, and they only took an hour to update it.  including myself... Hopefully you can try to restart it and try from there not letting it sleep.

  • IPhone and Windows 7 64 Bit - syncing issues

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone is able to help. I have updated to Windows 7 and am having problems syning my iPhone. It comes up with a multitude of errors but the most common is:
    'The iPhone "Michael's iPhone" can not be syned. The required file can not be found.
    I have restored the iPhone and after it resets, it sits at the Setup Window in iTunes for ages, then clicks over, starts syncing (it is doind that now) but also displays the error. Will be interesting to see if it actually finishes the sync and to see if the apps work on the phone.
    I have also removed iTunes, Quicktime, Mobile App Supprt, Apple Software Updater, Bonjour and reinstalled and still the sync issues coninue. I also ran the diagnostic tool in iTunes on syncing and detecting the iPhone and it reports everything is ok.

  • New iPod Touch owner having syncing issues

    I just got a new 8GB touch. Everytime I try to sync it, iTunes freezes. I have installed the OS update 3.1.2, backed up my library and uninstalled then reinstalled iTunes. I'm currently resetting the entire device. If that doesn't work, what else can I try?

    This is a syncing issue with having 5 authorized computers. My computer crashd ans is in the shop. When I tried to authorize my laptop to transfer my playlists (and everything else) from my touch, the only option I found was to deauthorize all my computers. I now cannot figure out how to get my music library from my Touch into my laptop I-Tunes account. Every options seeems to indicate that the material on my touoch woul;d be erased. I want everything from my Touch to replace what is on my laptop. I am sure I am missing something obvious, but need help.

  • ITunes sync issues with Windows 7 64k Bit

    I am beyond frustrated! I have attempted for the past 3 days straight to figure out why iTunes keeps having syncing issues with all my devices- Nano 8GB, Touch 8GB, iPhone 3G 8GB. When I first connected the devices for the first time iTunes froze up and I had to hard boot. I then had to "restore" the devices as they were messed up. Since then I have had syncing issues. It says it is syncing but then it stops and freezes before it is finished and is unresponsive requiring me to end the program. Then my computer does not recognize the iPod is connected so I have to reboot my computer and it all starts over again. I'm not trying to sync a million song, 600 songs less than 2Gig.
    Called Apple, they had me uninstall iTunes 9 and reload it. That did not fix the problem. Called back and they told me to go to the Apple store and have them check my devices (they did not as they said they were pretty sure it was not iTunes or my devices) that it was probably Windows 7. MS points the finger at iTunes 9, Apple points the finger at Windows 7... all the while me (the customer) has no resolution. I don't care what the issue is... I would just like to figure out how to fix it (if it's my computer fine...I'll take it in to have it fixed) but I just cant get anyone to help figure out what/where the issue is.
    I have tried many of the "tricks" that are posted when you google the issue.. ie reinstall drivers etc. The "Genius" at the Apple store searchd and found something that said it might be my motherboard needing an updated driver (I updated that and nothing changed).
    Would REALLY appreciate it if someone could help
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Does your PC have a NVIDIA USB Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI) chipset?
    If it does, you may want to try the Microsoft hotfix available here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976972.
    If not, try the general USB troubleshooting tips in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286

  • Serious Sync issues between iTunes 8.0.2 and AppleTV 2.3

    Please Help,
    Everything was just wonderful until several weeks back when the AppleTV started having sync issues that seem to have degraded into oblivion. Rebooted everything, checked all software loads, tried many of the suggestions (no blocking network / firewall issues) and have even tried adding redundant port allows for any and all ports I could find going in / out of Apple TV. But to no avail there seems to be a bug that got introduced somewhere with the sync mechanisms.
    The Apple TV can purchase movies, download them fast to start playing, view youtube videos just fine and play all of the media great, So can my Mac and all media / iTunes functions work well it even syncs with my iPhone / iPods well.
    However... The only way I can get the AppleTV to sync is to reboot it, then it will sync some, iTunes will just get to a forever syncing with Apple TV state (which you have to stop), reboot AppleTV again, it will sync some more, until it stops, iTunes is stuck syncing forever with AppleTV again, repeat and rinse about 4 more times and you have it all synced.
    If there isn't anything to sync when AppleTV boots the Sync in iTunes just spins for ever. I actually left it for 4 days just to see if it was actually doing anything. Minimal Network IO and of course it never finished.
    If I stop the Sync with Apple TV in iTunes and then try to reinitiate it from iTunes I get the 3986 port error (which is bogus) unless there is some hidden setting somewhere in the OS that I can't find. And if there was a problem then why would it start and run when I boot the Apple TV.
    It just seems that all of a sudden things started going wrong with Sync with no real change other than 'software updates' .
    The only thing I haven't tried is to do a factory reset on the AppleTV which from what I have read doesn't really solve anything.
    So, please someone from Apple or someone with some detailed technical experience provide some guidance on whether there is a bug that got introduced, version issues between iTunes/AppleTV, or something else going that I haven't been able to figure out over the last 2 weeks.
    The only other unique things that may be different is that I have my iTunes library on an external drive (not on the internal drive). Does this many any difference?
    Thank You in advance to anyone that can help me get to the bottom of these issues. This started happening when I was totally sold on AppleTV and about to buy a second one.

    And it's good to know I'm not the only one with the problem too! I just cannot sync stuff from Mac to Apple TV without it locking up. It actually seems to lock the wifi also, meaning I have to quit iTunes, turn off the wifi and then turn it back on again. But as soon as I open iTunes, the same problem again...
    I've tried everything I can think of, searched all help articles, but cannot sort out this somewhat annoying problem.

    Bookmarks are not syncing to ONE of my Macs, but showing up on other Mac (work), iPhone 4 and iPad 1. Macs are on Mountain Lion. Tried all of Apple's suggestions - and the one Mac is still not updating/syncing Bookmarks or Reading List. What's going on? Do I have to wait to OS update? It seems lots of peolple were having issues before ML, but I as fine. Since ML, I am having all kinds of issues!

    Yeah, I literally have tried everything except deleting my iCloud account (I'm close, but that would require so many changes that it is way too painful to consider at this point).
    I am still waiting to hear back from Apple Support. Hopefully something can be done, or they can do a reset on their end.
    Thanks for taking the time to respond though, much appreciated!
